The term became widespread in unofficial circles in 2008 – during the Russian-Georgian war

The online encyclopedia website Wikipedia has an article about “rashism”. It is available in more than 20 languages, but there is no Russian version.
: Wikipedia fined in Russia for article about war in Ukraine
The article points out that the main idea of rashism is the “protection of Russians” through armed incursions into neighboring countries.
And the symbol of rashism is the Latin letter “Z”, which the Russian military applied to their equipment before the invasion of Ukraine.
Already after the start of the war, the letter Z began to appear in Russian cities – it was applied to cars, advertising billboards, clothes in support of the Putin regime.
Also, the authors of the article attributed to the history of the formation of rashism the wars that Russia arranged after the collapse of the USSR:
- Transnistrian conflict
- First Russo-Chechen War 1994
- Second Russo-Chechen War
- Russian-Georgian war of 2008
- Russian-Ukrainian war
Probably, after the publication of that article in Russia, Wikipedia will be completely blocked. Earlier, Roskomnadzor threatened to block Wikipedia for the article “Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.”
